Bank Stocks With Solid Dividends

A fresh analysis of publicly-traded U.S. bank and thrift holding companies by TheStreet highlights another 10 bank stocks with attractive dividend yields. To come up with this new list of ten more solid bank and thrift stocks with attractive dividend yields, we again started with first-quarter regulatory data and market data from Thursday's close provided by SNL Financial.

Excluding names trading above two times tangible book value helps narrow down the list to stocks that may still be undervalued in the wake of the banking crisis, but the approach leaves out some stellar names, including New York Community Bancorp (NYB). This company's shares returned 11% year-to-date through Thursday and were yielding a fat 6.39% on a 25 cent quarterly payout. New York Community was recently featured in TheStreet's Best In Class series. We took a further conservative step this time, excluding companies that paid out more in dividends than they earned over the year ended March 31.
